Texas PricePoint – Compare Hospital Inpatient Charges (Prices)

Compare hospital inpatient charges, or prices, at Texas PricePoint. If you are looking for average cost of hospital care or surgery in TX, the prices at this PricePoint site by the Texas Hospital Association will give you an idea of what to expect on your hospital bill. However, the site has not kept up to date. Because the costs listed are quite old, consumers should add at least 13% to account for medical inflation in 2022 prices. The average charge for a joint replacement in Texas was reported to be over $79,000 in 2017. A cesarean section without major complications averaged nearly $26,000, not counting the baby’s care. Information for one hospital at a time (no side-by-side comparisons) for maternity, childbirth, newborn, c-section; hip or knee replacement (look up Joint), fracture repair; hysterectomy, pneumonia, COPD, bronchitis, asthma; heart failure, chest pain, cardiac cath, bypass, stent, heart transplant; mental health, psychiatric hospitalization, depression; alcohol rehab; bowel surgery; back problems including spinal fusion and more.
